How to Create a GST Invoice for Gym Membership (Step by Step)

A GST invoice for gym membership needs a handful of fixed details: your gym's name, address and GSTIN; a unique invoice number and date; the member's name; what they bought; the taxable value; the GST rate and amount, split into CGST and SGST for members in your state; and the total. Get these right every time and your filings become routine. This is general guidance, so check any special cases with your accountant.

What goes on the invoice

• Gym details: legal name, address, GSTIN.
• Invoice number: unique and consecutive within the financial year, up to 16 characters, for example INV-0281.
• Invoice date.
• Member details: name, and address or state if needed for place of supply.
• Description: the plan, such as "Quarterly membership, 1 Oct – 31 Dec".
• Taxable value: the price before GST.
• GST rate and amount: CGST and SGST for intra-state, IGST for inter-state.
• Total amount.
• Payment mode (UPI, cash, card) is not mandatory but is very useful.

Worked example at 5%

A member in the same state buys a quarterly plan priced at ₹6,000 before GST:

Quarterly membership (1 Oct – 31 Dec)	₹6,000.00
CGST @ 2.5%	₹150.00
SGST @ 2.5%	₹150.00
Total	₹6,300.00

If your price already includes GST

Many gyms advertise a single all-in price, say ₹6,300. To find the taxable value, divide by 1.05:

₹6,300 ÷ 1.05 = ₹6,000 taxable value, and ₹300 GST (₹150 CGST + ₹150 SGST).

The rate itself changed from 18% to 5% (without input tax credit) from 22 September 2025, so check which rate your receipts use. See GST on gym membership in India.

Common mistakes

• Handwritten receipts with no GSTIN or invoice number. These are not valid tax invoices.
• Gaps or repeats in invoice numbers, often from two receipt books being used at once.
• Using the old 18% rate after the change.
• Mixing products into the membership line. Supplements carry their own rate and should be separate lines.
• No receipt for cash payments, which leaves a gap in your records. See handling cash, UPI and card.

Keep invoices in one series

Whether a member pays by UPI link, at the desk or online, every payment should come out of the same numbered series. Separate books for cash and UPI are how gaps and duplicates creep in. Keeping every payment in one system is also step 4 of the fee collection system.

How Vault Fit handles this

Vault Fit prints a GST receipt for every payment automatically, from the same numbered series whether the member paid by UPI, cash, card or online. The receipt shows your gym's name, address and GSTIN, the member, the plan and dates, the taxable value and the CGST/SGST split, using the rate you set in Settings. Members can open their receipt from a link, and the owner can export receipts as a CSV for Tally or Zoho. Shop sales get their own GST invoices with each product's rate.
